who committed suicide last Saturday
was born of wealthy parents in AXares
and about year ago married sailor, a
| Portuguese, like herself, with whom she
came to live in Boston. Each was

ment was on steamer plying between
| Boston and Philadelphia, and his trips
| lasted eight days each. Early last
week Portuguese whom Mrs. Silva had
known in her native isle called on her
| several times in the absence of her hus-
band. His brothers wife viewed these
visits with suspicion, and taxed her
husband. Mrs. Silva protested that
she was innocent, and throughout the
evening bemoaned her position, saying
| that she would rather die than face her
husband and be held up as false
wife. The fact that she was with
child added to her misery, and next day
she bought box of rough on rats, .
swallowed its contents and soon died in
agony, speaking of her husband in EN-
dearfng terms with her last breath.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Feb. 10
Shortly after noon yesterday all per-
SONS who had eaten dinner at Mrs.
Child's boarding house in Holyoke
were taken violently i'll, with symp-
the persons were John p. Cushing
principal of the high school, DIR. Hum
stone, DR.. c. r. Gardiner, and several
other well-knOwn gentlemen and Ia
dies of HOlyoke. Prompt medical at
tendance was rendered the sufferers
and at present all are doing well. 1t
is supposed the brown bread, which
was heartily partaken of by all, was
the cause of the illness, presumably
which it was made, being acted upon
chemically by heat in baking. There
is not the slightest suspicion that the
matter was anything but accidental.

NEW YORK, Feb. l5-Business of
steamships and railroad companies on
the piers along the river front has as
sumed a normal condition and freight
is being moved as Systematically as
before the big strike. Many old hands
have got back to work and the Italians
who took the places of strikers are now
accustomed to the work and agents
say they are as good as old hands, ex-
cept that they do not understand the
language. The men now acknowledge
that they were badly beaten and some
of them are severe in their denuncia-
ton of the action of their leaders.

Intense Suffering AmOnG Cattle.
FIT. KEoeH, Mont, February 14-In
round numbers there were. January
first, 200, 600 head of cattle and $4,000
sheep on the ranges north and south
of the Yellowstone river, within a ra-
dius of a hundred miles of this point.
Up to that date stock had not suffered
much from the severity of winter, but
during January and the half of Febru-
airy just closing, storms have been of
unprecedented frequency and the tenn
perature averaged the lowest for
fifteen years. 1t is not possible
to accurately estimate the losses, but
they have been enormous in some
places, amounting to practical annihil-
alton Of whole herds. A Tongue river
stockman, who has just returned from
an examination of his herd, said to q
correspondent: "At Liguite, where
my herd is located, 1 saw a piteous
sight as far as I could see up and down
the river. Cattle were standing knee
deep in snow, unable to obtain blade
of grass for Sustenance and gnawing
the wood of willows as a last resort.
In space of fifty yards
square counted twenty-five
dead beasts and cowboy told me there
were fully a thousand dead between
Liguite and Moon creek a few miles
above. Cattle are almost unable to
move, as their feet and ankles are but
raw masses of bleeding flesh from hav-
ing been cut at every step by crusted
snow. They occasioally go upon the
ice in search of water and, finding an
air hole, tumble into the river. Men
cutting ice saw thirty cattle drowned
in two hours. They could not be
driven away, as they were mad with
thirst

wfNTERED WELL.

Indian Territory special says: Re-
ports from all parts of the Indian Ter
ritory show that stock has wintered
well and is in fair condition. The
winter was mild throughout and at no
time have cattle suffered for either
water or food, grass affording susten-
ance and streams remaining open. On
the Cherokee strip there has been little
or no loss from severe weather, aud
mildest winter in the past five years.
Recent rains caused the young grass
to grow and the indications point to
an early spring. The managers of
companies running from 10000 to
10000 head of cattle say the loss will
range from two to four per cent this
year as against ten. to twenty per cent
in 1898

was, under a different management,
opposed to the advancement of the COL
ored race, and that it is now in favor
of mixing up the schools. The stuff
is too idiotic to merit reply. To the
latter charge we will say that we are
not in favor Of compelling the mix
ture of the schools. We would not
compel respectable colored child to
occupy a seat next to the kind of ma
terial of which Democratic politicians
are made. We would leave it entirely
optional with the individual. We
would suggest, however, that our
young Democratic friends refer to the
history of their party for few admin
istrations back Of the point where that
party went out Of power, and they
will discover that a Democrat occupy
ing the exalted position of Vice Pres
the United States, had "nigger"
wife. Antipathy to ''niggers" and
association with "niggers," has not
been a Democratic characteristic, al
though it has been Democratic pro-
fesaion. 1t is yet within the memory
of living men, and not very old men at
that, how the magic wand of Democ-
racy smote the color Of the ''nigger" in
the South, and 10, it became beautiful
yellow. It is not wonderful that
there fingers in the Democratic mind
an objection to educating the '''nigger, !"
for it did not require much education
for him-or rather her-to reach the
full measure of destiny, as seen from
the lustful eyes of Democratic pa
triots.
Young friends, go over the history
Of the past; study it carefully, and in
all seriousness we give you our word
that you will find at every point a
record that ought to be be enough to
put to eternal shame the lowest type
of humanity. Search the records,
friends!
